| - First Watch is, I imagine, what Panera used to feel like, before it become just another fast food place. The decor feels cozy and intimate, even though a large community table can seat about a dozen people. It also boasts freshly made food, ingredients straight from a farm, made in their kitchen (not sure how much I believe that claim though).
The service has always been adequate and friendly. My only gripe with First Watch is their lack of allergen-options (seriously - what year is it now - EVERYONE has an allergen friendly menu). Though I am grateful for the fresh juice options, there are not many options for vegans without having to play some serious dietary menu-scrabble. I get sad when a big group wants to go here, because I know it's a Juice and Coffee for me, while everyone else gets a hearty meal.
Overall - I know that most "breakfast" places won't be vegan friendly, since eggs, cheese and baby piglets are the "centerpieces" for Americans eating breakfast. But a non-dairy butter option, like Earth Balance or Olivio, would be nice. I could at least order some toast then!
